DEMONSTRATION OF CAPABILITY: Offeror(s) will be required to present a demonstration of existing capability to perform critical services:

Facility Clearance. The Offeror must provide proof of a Top Secret Facility Clearance (FCL) and Secret Safeguarding as accredited by the Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency (DCSA) via an approved Department of Defense Security Agreement (DD Form 441/441-1).

Demonstration Requirements:

1. The capability requires a dedicated non-attributable (NA) infrastructure that has a demonstrated history of performance and successful penetration testing. While the NA infrastructure may need to be tailored to the capability, it needs to be established prior to demonstration start. The NA infrastructure must be capable of leveraging and viewing stored data, transmitting, and receiving this data with little to no latency when querying data or running mission essential functions. The offeror must be able to show a diagram of the NA infrastructure and results of penetration testing. For demonstration purposes, only a standalone laptop with access to the web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the offeror data cloud with a standard commercial internet connection is necessary.

2. Be able to leverage data in a cloud based storage infrastructure capable of storing, transmitting, and receiving queries with little to no latency.

4. Must have an established GUI capable of demonstrating algorithms for behavioral statistical modeling and automated pattern of life development must be able to leverage GUI and data on a deployable standalone laptop. Successful demonstration of the GUI capability leveraging cloud based data in the required AOR is necessary for the demonstration.

5. The demonstration will require all data types to be queried to successfully complete the problem.

6. The GUI must demonstrate capability to run algorithms for behavioral statistical modeling and automated pattern of life development over the offeror’s data. The Offeror must be able to leverage GUI and data on a NA tower and a NA deployable standalone laptop. For demonstration purposes, only the standalone laptop is needed.
